1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March. I blogged about this on my blog thinking maybe one or 2 others may join us and lots of girls indicated an interest so I decided to start this blog where we can all encourage each other to meet the goals set along the way....March 2010 -March 2011...........

2nd SAL ......well so many of the girls wanted to continue on with another project and some new girls joined us and now approx 91 girls are stitching Natalie Bird's Tis the Season. March to Sept 2011...............

3rd SAL....many girls want to stick with the SAL so now we have moved onto Anni Downs Some Kind of Wonderful - My Favourite Things Quilt.......Oct 2011-Oct 2012.........

Where are we now.....

4th SAL 2013...is numerous smaller projects from the previous 2 books Tis the Season and Some Kind of Wonderful plus some projects from Red Home by Natalie Bird approx 60 ladies stitching together.........

6th SAL 2017.............A Holly Cottage Christmas by Michelle Ridgway.......once again the pattern is in an affordable book so it is easy for everyone to join in...........and you can raid your stash for the fabrics........or lash out and buy a the whole lot........this SAL will be run by Fiona aka Bubz Rugz and Raewyn........

My July finish in August

As one of those who is supposed to be cracking the whip, I thought I'd better get myself organised and post my finished July block.

How are the rest of you doing with your blocks? Now that it's August it's time to start thinking about the Blessings block - plus a star plus a heart!

Gorgeous! I like the running stitch around the frosting. Mine is finished, but I haven't posted yet. No computer connection for me in Ohio at the place I was staying. I'll get it up in the next day or two. =)

Raewyn....first of all I love your name. Such a pretty name. I really like the stitching you did to accent the icing. It really helps to define it against the light background fabric. Happy stitching🇨🇦
